You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with DeMonte Capehart in No. 242. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. That Mims pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
A quiet steal in pick 35: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Trey Benson at Round 2, Pick 24 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at No. 66 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Khyree Jackson at slot 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Braelon Allen at the 125th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
De'Corian Clark at the 173rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Phil Jurkovec. A need, and now a little less of one.
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at the 242nd pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
